Lin Yilin didn't touch for long before she blushed and hastily withdrew her hand, not even daring to look at Jiang Linyuan.
Pulling out her hand and not acknowledging the person, what a scoundrel of a woman!
Although she said she was covering her heart, it was really just resting her hand on it.
Compared to Su Muzhi's dragon claw hand technique, it was simply like Wang Yuan eting Wang Bian—utterly incomparable.
Jiang Linyuan chose to let her calm down alone and decided to go watch so circus.
He hadn't walked far when he heard the sounds of Yu Songsong and Zhao Tongyu arguing.
"If you keep this up, I can't partner with you."
Yu Songsong threw down the script in her hand very impatiently, frowning as she looked at Zhao Tongyu.
Zhao Tongyu took a deep breath and forced out a strained smile:
"If you think I have problems sowhere, I can change. We still have a long ti to prepare, don't we?"
Yu Songsong pointed at the script quite bluntly:
"At these parts, you either can't pick up your cues, or you rember them wrong. How am I supposed to partner with you?"
Zhao Tongyu bit his lip and said:
"Didn't you say you would handle these lines?"
"But if I can't rember them, shouldn't you, as my partner, step in and cover for
in ti?"
Yu Songsong replied.
Zhao Tongyu was stunned for a mont, then showed an ugly smile:
"Right, that's my fault. I'll morize them right away."
Classmate Zhao, did you escape from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set?
If you showed even half the backbone you have when dealing with
to Yu Songsong, I'd tell Batman to go easy on you when you return to Gotham.
Yu Songsong also rolled her eyes in speechless frustration.
She was deliberately picking a fight in the first place, hoping Zhao Tongyu would back down from the difficulty and let her switch partners.
But she never expected this guy could be so spineless.
Her impression of him worsened even more.
Yu Songsong couldn't take it anymore and said frankly:
"I don't want to partner with you. Can you take the initiative and withdraw?"
Zhao Tongyu's breath hitched.
Pain! Such pain!
But then it occurred to him that if he went along with Yu Songsong's wish this ti, it might improve his image in her eyes a little.
So he looked at Yu Songsong with a deeply affectionate expression:
"If that's what you wish, I can do it. It's just..."
"Really? Then go tell the Minister right away to get soone else."
Yu Songsong said very excitedly.
Seeing her agree so quickly and so excitedly, Zhao Tongyu felt both sorrow and joy.
The sorrow was that Yu Songsong really wanted him gone.
The joy was that if he left, Yu Songsong would be happy.
Who reaches the peak at the end of the clown's road? Upon seeing Tongyu, the path becos empty.
Zhao Tongyu took one last, lingering look at Yu Songsong and said:
"Then I'll go tell the Minister."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah!"
Yu Songsong nodded very dismissively.
Finally got rid of this guy.
Having watched a free circus performance, Jiang Linyuan was overjoyed. He walked over and asked:
"Did the junior get her wish?"
"Oh, it's Senior Jiang."
Seeing Jiang Linyuan approach, Yu Songsong's eyes lit up, then she said with seeming concern:
"I'm just worried the replacent might be even worse."
As she spoke, she subtly glanced at Jiang Linyuan with her eyes.
Clearly, she wanted to partner with Jiang Linyuan.
"Haha, that won't happen."
Jiang Linyuan laughed heartily.
Having already confird she wasn't an Alchemist, what was there to fear?
Thanks to Junior Zhao for delivering the opportunity.
You were the MVP this round, I'm the dog lying down and winning!
Little Classmate Zhao quickly gave up the male host position, and Zhang Shuo asked around once more.
No one responded.
"Then you do it, no problem, right?"
Having no other choice, Zhang Shuo looked at Jiang Linyuan.
I said it plainly, but you said it for nothing.
Jiang Linyuan nodded, very satisfied. The B-rank card reward was within reach.
Yu Songsong was also very satisfied, laughing so hard her fra shook.
Little Classmate Zhao was stunned, staring dumbfounded at the scene before him.
While his heart was being torn apart, a strange feeling also grew.
Damn it, there's a bull! There's a bull!
Jiang Linyuan cheerfully went with Yu Songsong to a corner to practice the script, watching which made Little Classmate Zhao's heart churn with mixed emotions.
It's not that I can't compete, I just don't want to.
Since things had co to this, he could only comfort himself to feel a little better.
Jiang Linyuan and Yu Songsong started practicing the script.
Then, he understood that being Yu Songsong's partner was not a simple task.
Forgetting lines and changing lines were basic operations; what was more outrageous was stealing cues.
Fortunately, Jiang Linyuan was experienced, so handling it wasn't difficult.
If it were soone else, coupled with Yu Songsong's domineering personality, they would definitely be completely overwheld.
"Senior, you and I have such great chemistry!"
After one run-through of the script, Yu Songsong exclaid in surprise, then showed a sweet smile:
"This must be what they call being on the sa wavelength!"
Sa wavelength my foot! Were you even focusing on practicing the script? How is that being on the sa wavelength?
Even Bi Gan would be more focused than you!
Jiang Linyuan smiled and nodded. Just as he was about to speak, his phone suddenly rang.
Looking at it, oh, it's a call from his sister.
"Gotta take a call."
Jiang Linyuan said to Yu Songsong, taking the phone and walking out of the classroom.
As soon as he pressed the answer button, Jiang Zhiyao's voice, gritted with anger, ca from the other end:
"You really can't stay idle for a single mont! What's this about a new sister-in-law candidate! Explain yourself!"
"Man and woman in love, literal aning."
Hearing this, Jiang Zhiyao on the other end asked:
"Seriously want to date?"
"The way you say that! When have I not been serious!"
Jiang Linyuan retorted.
This Haji Yao, does she want to stage a Xuanwu Gate confrontation?
"Oh?"
Jiang Zhiyao's voice beca disdainful:
"Is this another little Green Tea? Want
to help sound her out for you?"
"She's a treasure of a girl, don't slander her."
After all, she's a B-rank card.
Jiang Zhiyao completely didn't believe his nonsense and asked directly:
"What do you want
to do?"
"Check her professional competence, test her learning ability."
"..."
What learning ability? The learning ability to be a girlfriend or to be a Green Tea?
The conversational leap was too big. It took Jiang Zhiyao a mont to react:
"You an you want
to help guide her with professional course knowledge?"
Sis! You're confused!
What guidance does a Thief Saint need from you? Guidance on how to be flat-chested?
"Not guidance, testing. Basically, see what her attitude towards learning is like."
Jiang Linyuan said with earnest gravity.
"Huh?"
Jiang Zhiyao was utterly confused, but still agreed:
"Fine, but you have to tell
everything about this person clearly."
"It's too late today, we'll talk tomorrow."
Jiang Linyuan quickly hung up the phone, then planned to walk back to the classroom.
But as soon as he turned his head, he discovered a little female thief eavesdropping with perked-up ears.
"Little Yilin, what are you doing?"
Jiang Linyuan patted Lin Yilin's head.
"I ca out to use the bathroom, saw Senior standing here alone, and ca over."
Lin Yilin said evasively, stamring.
Obviously fake at a glance.
But Jiang Linyuan didn't mind. He looked at her and said:
"Little Yilin, stop stalking your senior all day long. If you have nothing to do, go eat so Liuliu plums."
"I'm not stalking you all day long!"
Lin Yilin argued, lacking conviction, clearly guilty as a thief.
No way, you don't actually spend your free ti every day snooping on my QQ status and social dia monts, do you?
After speaking, Lin Yilin asked sowhat uncomfortably:
"Senior, who were you talking to on the phone just now?"
Although she couldn't hear their conversation clearly, at the beginning she vaguely heard a girl's shouting voice.
Late at night, a lone man and a lone woman, having a private conversation... sothing fishy is going on!
"Oh, Little Yilin has such wide jurisdiction?"
Jiang Linyuan laughed.
Hearing this, Lin Yilin, for so reason, felt extrely wronged.
But then she thought, what right did she have to feel wronged?
Whether Senior tells
or not is his freedom. I don't have the right to ask him.
Thinking this made her feel even worse. A sour, astringent taste gradually welled up in her heart.
"Fine, we're all family. I'll tell Little Yilin. I was talking to your sister-in-law."
"Sister-in-law? I don't have a sister-in-law?"
Lin Yilin was still imrsed in her own lancholic thoughts and didn't imdiately grasp Jiang Linyuan's aning.
After a mont, a deep flush spread from her earlobes down to her neck. She stood rooted to the spot, unmoving:
"If it's Senior's sister, just say so! What 'all family,' what 'sister-in-law'! Nonsense!"
"If I didn't say that, soone might have started secretly wiping away tears."
"I... I wouldn't do that!"
Lin Yilin remained stubborn, her face slightly flushed, head held high.
The starlight and moonlight were cold and clear, yet they made people's hearts burn hot.
